Did you know that a conference attendee consumes 3 times more waste than in their daily life? In your efforts to make your event more sustainable, the management of residual materials should be at the top of your priorities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

How to Manage Residual Materials During an Event<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Encourage efforts to reduce waste at the source and prioritize the recovery of residual materials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Our teams will be able to assist you in this process because, for all of its activities, the Qu\u00e9bec City Convention Centre aims to recover at least 80% of the residual materials produced for each event. Our green building has a proven, standardized collection system for residual and compostable materials that has been integrated into daily routines since 2001. Numerous multimaterial recycling stations are installed in strategic locations throughout the Convention Centre.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Tips and tricks<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n
    \n
  • Plan a team of volunteers for better waste management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    \n

    It’s not only residual materials that are managed wisely at the Qu\u00e9bec City Convention Centre. Energy, air and water are also effectively managed!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    \n
      \n
    • An operational control system measures the temperature in real time and modulates the energy needs according to the traffic and the needs of the customers (Honeywell EBI).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The Convention Centre’s lighting is energy-efficient, and the fixtures are mercury-free (LED bulbs use 75% less energy).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Better air quality is ensured by ventilation units with high-efficiency filters and 10 to 12 air changes per hour in the rooms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The drinking water comes directly from the Qu\u00e9bec City network (water fountains connected to the aqueduct network and equipped with efficient filters).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
